Compiling the results from contemporary and exciting areas of
research into one single importanvolume, this book stands ahead in
its field in providing a comprehensive one-stop handbook reference
of biblical interpretation.
Examining a wide range of articles on many of the recognized
interpreters including Augustine, Luther, and Calvin, up to the
modern figures of Martin Hengel and T.W. Manson, Professor Porter
expertly combines the study of biblical interpretation with the
examination of the theological and philosophical preconceptions
that have influenced it, and surveys the history of interpretation
from different perspectives.
Key Perspectives studied include:
* The historical dimension: Addresses how interpretation has
developed at various periods of time, from early Jewish exegesis to
the historical-critical method.
* The conceptual approach: Looks at the various schools of thought
that have generated biblical interpretation, and compares and
contrasts competing conceptual models of interpretation,
* The personal perspective: Addresses the reality of biblical
interpretation by individuals who have helped plot the course of
theological development.
With relevant bibliographies and a guide to further reading, "The
Dictionary" will be an extremely imoprtant reference held for many
years, not only by libraries, but also by students, scholars,
clergy, and teachers of this fascinating and high-profile subject.
